This blog is about fairness; about looking at objects from multiple perspectives. Stable transformation comes only slowly; and only if the environment is free of sporadic jitters of passion and anger that destabilize growth. I strongly believe that the path to peace crosses through the battle with self.

Another Quote of the Day

( I got the quote from this site, as I stumbled across his/her pro-zionism comments elsewhere.)

Adolf Hitler:

"The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed the subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing. Indeed, I would go so far as to say that the supply of arms to the underdogs is a sine qua non for the overthrow of any sovereignty."

(Now I see who the neoconservatives and their Israeli coaches get ther lessons from!)

Actually, the reference is about allowing the Palestinians to have weapons.

As for nuking Iran, it was the beasts in Tehran that threatened to use nuclear weapons against Israel, not the other way around.

Israel is not intent on nuking Iran.

They are interested in de-nuking Iran- and they don’t need nukes to do that.

In the civilized world, 'Slaughter the Jews!' is not considered appropriate political or religious ideology.

You see, the real issue you face is that I represent the population you fear most. I am not Jewish, nor am I am practicing or religious Christian. My politics have been formed by the post 9/11 world.

I wrote elsewhere that "The Palestinians are representative of the Arab world as a whole- according to the UN Human Development Report (authored by Arabs) places the Arab world at the bottom of the barrel from a developmental standpoint.

In fact, ITBACH AL YAHUD! calls to ‘Slaughter the Jews’ along with accompanying racism, hate and bigotry found in Arab world school curricula, media and religious instruction are not acceptable in the civilized world.

When you say, “Whether or not there is peace in Palestine, I shall never be able to forgive Israel for having forced me, my family, my community, and my country to be a party to the atrocities that it has perpetrated and is still perpetrating in the Occupied Territories,” I can assure you there are Israelis that feel the same way.

The ‘Occupation’ came about as the result of an Arab initiated war. It was the Israelis that brought sanitation, reliable electricity, health care, education and an economy to the West bank and Gaza.

It was the Khartoum Conference of 1968 that made the Arab position clear- no to peace, no to negotiations and no to recognitions.

As a Syrian friend of mine once bitterly noted, “the real ‘naqbah’ is not Israel, but rather, video and audio tape. We can no longer who we are and what we have become from the world and from ourselves.”

You cannot camouflage the destruction wrought upon the Arab world by dysfunctional and failed leaders, by attempting to castigate the Israelis. In fact, the only endeavor at which the Arab world exceeds and have made a name for themselves is in Jew hatred. ‘We will finish what Hitler started’ is a refrain heard in concert with Holocaust denial, often repeated and well documented.

We wrote, “Had the Arab world done for itself only 10% of what Zionism did for Israel, that Arab world would not be the greatest assemblage of failed nation states in the modern world. A clear and final case for the morality of Zionism is the racism, that permeates the region and every level of society in the Arab world. As we have noted, hatred of Jews, America and Israel are the achievements of note in the Arab world.”

You cannot hide or blame the Palestinians tribal, cultural, and societal failures and implosions on the Israelis.

Finally, if you really cared one iota about justice and suffering, you would concern yourselves with real hate and evil.

What is happening in Darfur and elsewhere are tragedies of a far greater proportions.

Of course, there is a reason Israel is more important, right? After all, the GIA rape and dismemberment of children is of no concern. The forced conversion of and circumcision of in East Timor was of no concern and the ongoing Arab slave trade is of no concern."

Further, lets be frank- the current Iranian regime is less than stellar.

The 'Holocaust Conference' and the list of attendees speaks volumes about the nature of the regime and with whom they choose to identify- and that has been noted by plenty of student organizations that make that very point.

Hi N., just a note to tell you that I shall be receiving my copy of The Silence soon. I have just been advised that it has been mailed (Yeah!) I'm sure that I shall adore it. I'll let you know.

As well, after I had sent you this link (I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the name 'Parsi'), I went and re-read your post here that contained a link to a document from Mr. Parsi. I had not read it before. Very interesting indeed! Thanks!

But it wasn’t Iran that turned the Israeli-Iranian cold war warm – it was Israel. In October 1992, prior to Iran’s material support for Palestinian rejectionists, the Shimon Peres/Yitzhak Rabin government undertook a major campaign to depict Iran and Shi’a Islamic fundamentalism as a global threat.

You know, some of these FACTS are so well concealed from the popular press that some of the visitors find them "funny"!!!

What do you tell people who say "we formed our politics post 9/11"? How can you EDUCATE them that no one forms "politics" in such a short period of time??

Glad you will get the silence soon. I wish I watched it again too. Can't wait to hear what you "feel" about it.

the removed post was mine. I had said something like:"good SCA we do agree on some things"so here I just want to draw your attention to a few facts coming from your response:

a) you visited Iran a number of years agob) Disparity between Mullahs and Iranian peoplec) the murder of oppositions is something that the PEOPLE OF IRAN will one day hold them accountable for, but also keep in mind that the opposition (don't worry I have lost family members to Ayatollah's executions) is/was an armed group who was also murdering mullahs (the most organized opposition, MEK is even on the US's black list as a terrorist organization.)

Just a little correction, most civil serants now a days do not have beards; and you don't have to be in private to hear Iranians criticize the government's policies, foriegn and otherwise. You can just tune in to the state radio and listen to people who are interviewed. Criticizing the authority is NOT a taboo in Iran, as it was "a number of years ago".

Also, 911 had nothing to do with Mullahs, NOR PALESTINIANS, and Mullahs have done quite a bit of service to Americans by arresting AlQuaeda, and cooperating with Americans in their war with Taliban. I suggest you lobby your governments to toughen up in Saudi Arabia!

But you know SCA, it always baffles me why you don't comment on other posts of this blog.

Iranians I've spoken with think the US policy to thwart Iran's nuclear program at any cost is an unfair over-reaction especially when contrasted with our policy toward India, Pakistan and that infamous axis of evil member, N.Korea. This ginning up for war with Iran is foolish by any measure and the Israeli gov't noise machine just compounds the problem. Thank you N. for your thoughtful post and patient comments.

Thanks Hope.You know, it saddens me that the Iranian government, with its baseless and unfounded and unsupported rhetoric, totally out of touch with > 60 million Iranians who did NOT vote for Ahmadinejad, is so intent to play in the hand of the Israeli noise machine and the American ignorance. But the people of Iran will not give up easily. We have tamed these mullahs (just as we tamed the earlier conquerors of previous centuries,) we won't give up on our Iran easily.

I just hope the world heared our voice; and didn't dampen it by this nonsensical neoconservative cacophony!
